Take what GIS tells you with caution. In my experience only a couple folks in the verifications department actually know how the process works. I was lucky enough to speak with a nice lady last week about my PRIA and she knew my name and who my PRIA was going to without even looking up my information. She was, I believe, the person who actually does the legwork. As it turns out GIS was faxing my PRIA to a random fax number to which I did not provide them with. I corrected it.

Fast forward a week, I called to check on the status as I do every week and customer service tells my my PRIA has been received!

Skeptical, I called back an hour later to speak with another person who said they had no PRIA, and that the other agent was letting me know they had my PRIA forms that I had filled out for jetBlue.

It's hard to get a real picture on where they are in the background check and what is still pending. I can only imagine how inundated they are with work.

Regardless, I hope you did get your PRIA back that fast. That is great news, but be warned you may hear something different next check in. Good luck. Hope to see you in class if - fingers crossed - we are that lucky.
